Finally had the chance to get out and drive mine..weather has been absolutely trash until a few days ago.

Day off of work so took care of a few things that I needed to get done in the morning, I got done early so I hung out at the beach for a little, took a nice peaceful walk. Ate some lunch and then went to the store for some stuff to throw in the smoker tomorrow.

Got some nice driving in, good amount of stares and a few thumbs up. I was backing in to this spot and a couple of guys came up and asked me where I found one that was a manual because they had never seen a manual SS. They checked it out and were pretty happy to see it. 🙂

Took a picture of my crowded beach on my walk this morning, good relaxing mile or so in.

Well, the engine is in, spacers had to be used for both of the Motor Mounts, I am assuming it was a quality issue.
I am not sure why he would install solid mounts on what appears to be a stock or mild SBC instead of the stock clamshell style but it looks like a mismatch between upper and lowers they shouldn't be squished closed like that when mounted.

Back a page or so ago, I did also happen to comment on that picture and mount, wondering why it looked deformed? It's location is the driver's side. Nick
